My goal is to become a WSO on fighterjets ! I think that's a really cool job where i will be verry happy and proud to wake up every morning and go to work ! I will do all i can do to achieve my goal and with hardwork and dedication nothing it's impossible so let's do this :) !

Damn, if I was younger, I would love to do this! I'm a retired Army Engineer officer.

Very helpful

omg this is rough

What this all boils down to is people that couldn't make it through pilot school, flunked out of pilot training, or don't qualify for other reasons.

Pretty much like Flight Officers/NFO in the Navy (and Marines, too)

Question for any CSO out on TH-cam: What motivates someone to be CSO over being a pilot? It seems like you'd have to have a passion for aviation and probably thought of being a pilot growing up. But it seems like this path really limits your civilian options when you get out. Why be a CSO over pilot? Is CSO is an easier slot to get? I'm an Army Guard MP officer so I have no dog in this fight, but I just want to understand why someone would get in this career field but not be a pilot.

Do you need to be hella good at math to be commissioned as a CSO?

As a CSO can you choose what aircraft you get assigned to? Or is there a ranking process in school? I can't find much on this topic lol I'd love to be a bomber CSO

Clarification please. At 11:42, Capt Jen Cook flies with a pilot or does she pilot the the aircraft as well?

Any idea how this career field can translate into the civilian world after your service?

Is that Rage Against the Machine I hear in the background?

"DOSS" Oh Alber"TOSS", Do TOSS the Ball To THEM All, After-all, It's not at the Mall, But the Banquet Hall: USAFIO's "Vocatio": An "Invitation to Dinner" To be a Winner And cleanse the Sinner! Oh Alber'TOSS" To TOSS the Ball to rising Action: an evolving COMPaction: All WIN and NO LOSS! Salute The BOSS at DOSS!

I'm waiting to be a CSO in the French Air Force (we called that "NOSA" over here). Already passed the tests, now waiting for the decision of the recruitment board :) I'm looking forward to start my training !

Why do ALL U.S. Officers regardless of Service talk like Robots ?

11:22, JStars " World's premier C2ISR Platform" LMAO.

Are the CSO graduates actually rated pilots? Sure seems like lots of sim and actual stick time. Sounds good. Oh, does the USAF still have traditional Nav. training?

randomly came across this video, I went on a tdy with swatek, cool guy.

This was a good transition as day and night cell training went away. This was me 35 years ago as I started Nav training at Mather AFB, CA and became a NAV/EWO. Best secret...RC-135!

Don't entirely understand what's going on here, but this makes me not want to be a CSO anymore

So true man, I love this!

I hate that trainees yell at trainees...

Thank you for making this video. My son will be graduating from this program in 3 months.

PREACH! Thank you!!!

The two sentences you just said had nothing to do with each other what so ever. Just because someone is "smart" in a sense, doesn't mean they are going to be in the Air Force. The air force does require much more training and studying to become an officer.

no.. if u are going to be in the military you need to be fit. i dont care if ur air force navy marine army. u are in the military you need to be fit. you better get fit or you will suck as an officer.

no... LOL.. ROTC commissions officers. OTS commissions officers. you will already be an officer after ROTC. you dont need OTS

You forgot the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy as a commission source for this designation.

Why are you replying to your own comment? lol

Can you attend OTS after AFROTC?

I'm thinking about joining the officer training school. Got a 4 year degree in computer science and and it's doing nothing for me. My girlfriend was also talking about enlisting but she was going to go active duty I think. I'm not really the physical type but I can do basic workouts. Will that be enough for officer trianing school based on anyones experience?

I am going to hopefully be there in 3 more years. I run and am in pretty decent shape but I was just wondering how much PT you guys had to do throughout OTS.

Just graduated from 13-04 (was in flight 2-13) and it's pretty much the same stuff! Oh and Major General Kevin is still around. lol

Con este video, me mostraron lo importante que es estar alegre a pesar de las circunstancias! NO TODO ES GUERRA... Excente VIDEO (Y)

i hope to change that.

ive noticed that most of the songs on AF vids are gay.

Do you think this would be something good for a thirty year old. Or will it suck because there older surrounded by youngsters with experience

can somebody tell me what was the first song

We're all on the same team here people stop bashing on different branches, everyone plays their important roles in one way or another!!!

I am a Met major, and never knew that this was a possibility!!! Thanks for the video!!

stupid asshole air force

What If you do not do good in the obstacle course, and say you can not complete one of the objectives, can you still graduate. (although I hope this will not be a situation for anybody)

I know OTS is a lot harder than this video makes it look, right?

She's not a drill instructor. It's more embarrassing than that. She's a trainee just like the ones she's yelling at, except she's been there for about 4-5 weeks. Of course, she has to act like that, but I'm sure everyone involved feels goofy about the situation. I know it'll feel weird for me when I'm there in September!

I am also applying for CSO and this video was very informative, thank you for posting it

Thanks for putting this on here. I'm going to be sending this link to my family and friends. Your video gives an awesome explanation of the CSO career field.

How difficult is it to get into OTS with an engineering degree (hoping to maintain a 3.4-3.6gpa) and a lot of leadership positions on the resume'? I still have 2 years left until i graduate, but I want to do all I can to be competitive for a spot now (my campus doesn't have AFROTC)

hey, can you tell me if to get into the officer school you must to be graduated from a college in the united states?

I guess that goofy shit at 8:45 is what the Hoyas do while the Tigers are out running their asses off.

Many of these people will go into another branch of training. One thats way harder than the marine corps. Everyone thinks marines are the biggest baddest guys, but in reality, theyre not really the complete best. Theres always someone better.
